Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread

Unwashed and slightly dazed staggered bourbon serenade the stoplight glows the red in our eyes
The wailing sirens comfort me as the city sings it's melody another midnight another toast to our lives
But I barely even knew your name yet we dance that subway train to the beat of the rumble from its track
The posters were our souvenirs broken hearts, broken mirrors reflecting scars on our back

Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead
Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead

Hanging on by a thread

Slightly burnt and slightly bent our innocence just came and went like a warm wind that turns to a breeze
And as the moon fades its glory to a red sky dawn morning to a shadow at the end of our street
But I knew it when I kissed your face held your strangered embrace that it wouldn't be for long
We were two tarnished souvenirs broken hearts, broken mirrors afraid of what would have come

Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead
Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead

Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread

Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead
Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead

Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead
Dream on their baby oh we've got one night to go barely hanging on by a thread
But before we end this episode hold me a one minute more we can sleep when we're dead

Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a thread
Hanging on by a thread
